| 2 | * `cp /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop` |
| 3 | * `vim ~/.local/share/applications/chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop` |
| 4 | * Change first Exec line in desktop entry: (change path to your dev setup) |
| 5 | * `Exec=/usr/local/google/home/scheib/c/src/out/Release/chrome %U` |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Set the default: |
| 8 | * `xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop` |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Launch, telling Chrome which config you're using: |
| 11 | * `CHROME_DESKTOP=chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop out/Release/chrome` |
| 12 | * Verify Chrome thinks it is default in `about:settings` page. |
| 13 | * Press the button to make default if not. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Restore the normal default: |
| 16 | * `xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop` |
| 17 | |
| 18 | |
| 19 | A single line to change the default, run, and restore: |
| 20 | * `xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop && CHROME_DESKTOP=chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop out/Release/chrome; xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop && echo Restored default browser.` |
